Or ATHT to snipe him =) WOOO!!

[Khorney]

tanks are pretty darn effective actually, bear in mind the only AT you can bring with a blob is PIATS, and if he has a blob, he won't have tanks due to the pop cap. unless you consider an Lt + 2 squads a blob

PIATS are really effective vs infantry n tank and so is rifles grenades. I don't consider LT + 2 squads a blob. They are easy to kill. Its the 10-20 squads of infantry that r stupid to kill and stop.

[Khorney]

see the exploit guide. get your tanks skirted up and PIATS are even more useless

Yes, all those 20 strong infantry blobs are a problem.

[CrazyWR]

Dragon, have you ever USED Piats?

1 p4 ice tea (IST ) pwns rangers equipped with tommy guns
3 assault grens pwns bazooka rangers.

PE does have a defense against their blobs

Now if its a mixed blob of 2 tommy and 2 zooka, well that is most likely their whole army of rangers and will have nothing after that, but will take a little more than ice tea to counter. hummel, stuka, nebel, pretty much only artillery can easily defeat that.

DiBBs, I think you've managed to misunderstand both pages of this thread. We're talking about British basic infantry units, not US Rangers. =) Hence the mentioning of Liutenants and PIATs and the like.

uuuuuuuaaaaaghhh

fail.

[DiBBs]

uuuuuuuaaaaaghhh

fail.

If thats the case..
I've single handedly fought off a 2 person tommy+LT blob with a p4 fully upgraded p4, careful microing of 3 assault grens and a mortar halftrack with incend.

it's true.

(sorry for the double post, accidents happen, is there a way to delete your own posts?)

"Hint" Let us snipe the LT n CPT as a counter measure. At the moment it takes 2-4 hit with a sniper to kill them.

How about not. No one would *ever* have a vetted LT or CPT if you could one-shot them. I mean how overpowered would snipers be versus the British at that point? Kill one unit and severely nerf the player's surrounding squads?

That'd be like some sort of no-skill win button.

[Dragon2008]

Well if ur stupid enough to leave ur LT or CPT in the open or vulnerable to sniper shots then ur LT/CPT should die in one shot. I don't see how an officer can stand upto 3 shots from a scoped rifle. (is he terminator or something)

He might be the backbone of the british army but its stupid where they charge in and the only unit to survive is the stupid officer with vet 2 and just runs off. WTF

If I was a sniper id go for officer not the infantry man. No officer = No blob with heroic charge = half your units survive and u own the british player.

[Khorney]

if by 'in the open' you mean with the squads he is supposed to be supporting, then i guess you'd see alot of that. anyway, officers are picked out alot easier with assault infantry. i played a game earlier where the guy had 1 KCH that almost killed my captain in about 2 seconds, had i not retreated him. thats some insane damage.
1 shotting snipers would be all but unavoidable, as brits really don't have any decent detection save for stumbling over snipers, and would lead to some shamelss vet griefing, especially annoying as regular brit units vet up slower than other factions, thus rely on their officers for the bonus'

[BigDick]

Tommies are just as easilly suppressed as any other infantry.

What kills flammewerfer in a few seconds and is available to tommies?

tommies have soldier armour so they are NOT as easily supressed as any other infantry

especially with heroic charge or riflenades

3 elite dudes all equiped with mp44 could't manage to kill a single guy? that is some insane damage resistant

and i saw a captain picking up a shrek and surviving at least 5 direct stuh hits and the complete first callin of a guy in R+ mode

[Khorney]

i meant there was 1 KCH (1 man, not 1 squad) on minimal health, the rest of his squad had been wiped out in a previous engagment.

that captain was probably vet 2 at least, and very lucky =P

[Schultz]

You know what would stop people using fucking blobs ? The ability to have combined arms in their PROPER use.
Look at the mg emplacement, and mortar who buys that ? Honestly.
And look at mukip and his company.
Uses commando SUPPORT weps and american atgs.
And thats how it should. Other than getting american reinforcement to get the fuck away from the broken british support weps, theres no other way than blobbing

[Khorney]

also, tommies are by far the easiest suppressed infantry in the game, i don't think their armour type changes that. 1 burst is normally enough to have several squads on the floor, so heroic charge is a necesscity, and your buggered if you don't have any vet Lt's

[perfil02]

they can kill falmmenwerfer in a few seconds, also they have some kind of good suppresion resisntece + fireup + the best infatry weapons + captains leutenants etc...

Tommies are just as easilly suppressed as any other infantry.

tommies have better supression resistance, also they have that "fire up" with their officer (i dont know it's name) 2 tommies squad with bren can kill flammenwerfer in a sec, if there's another with granade launchers can clear buildings easily, if there's also 1 57mm ATG to easily kill buttoned tanks, and one of those officers wich give great buffs, that's all a brit player needs to counter almost everything.

[UnderpoweredAll]

realistically i just don't think an officer would run around in such an obvious and easy to spot manner, it wouldn't be such an easy sniping shot in such a short amount of time

[Prydain]

Chomp, chomp, chomp...

Panzershrecks are lock on hit-from-whatever-range super weapons, stormtroopers can pop out of nowhere and catch tanks or vulnerable infantry, Pumas are uncounterable, treadbreaker is like a cheat and all the while somebody complains about a faction that has the least amount of viable units.

If Infantry Section blobs are occuring, its because there is no British assault troops, there are no British HMGs, there are no British mortars and there are not many players who can micro.

The same complaints in this thread could be leveled at any faction.
